Absolutely 100% recommended. The only circumstance under which I will ever change vets will be if…read moreI move over an hour away. Dr. Nashe and his staff are absolutely committed to animals. You will never, ever feel like they're rushing or dismissive of your animal's needs. They really get to know everyone personally. Every time one of my animals has passed away, they've cried with me. I work a lot and they're always willing to work with me. I've had my dogsitter and/or friends drop off and pick up animals for me, I've paid over the phone, etc., because they're there for the animals and they don't care how I have to get them there. The staff is so helpful that even if I'm there for one animal, they'll see that I'm about to run out of meds for another animal and have the refill ready to go. One of the things that distinguishes Dr. Nashe from other vets is his use of tried-and-true methods rather than immediately recommending new!exciting!expensive! solutions. He's extremely knowledgeable and won't push you for some fancy treatment course if a simple "give her one vitamin e a day" will do. I have also boarded my dogs there several times and they take excellent care of them. They've also done exams for my dogs during boarding as requested (e.g. I dropped off a dog to be boarded who has chronic ear infections, and since the vet was no longer there when I dropped her off, they did the exam the next day without me and called to let me know what they found). (You still have to pay for the exam.) I trust them to give all medications and attend to details such as which dogs can/can't be trusted with blankets in the kennel. I've called many times at the last minute and they've found space. I found Dr. Nashe because I had taken a dog to Dr. Vargoshe many years ago and enjoyed his old-fashioned methods, but he was on vacation when I needed a new dog vet and his office referred me to Dr. Nashe and I'm so, so happy.

We have been through a half dozen in Western Connecticut and the Capital region. Dr. Maggie's record speaks for itself. she has notably been so often correct in her diagnoses, treatment recommendations and prognoses that she puts other vets in the region to shame. Don't be put off by her strong Ecuadorian Spanish accent. She is in fact well-spoken, and is more than willing to answer questions, and explain her thinking. Her staff goes so far out of their way for pets and their owners that I'm . embarrassed to count the number of times they picked up the slack for us when we were so distressed about a sick cat that we couldn't think straight.

Making the call was incredibly difficult, but the person I spoke with helped ease some of that burden. At no point during that call did I feel rushed or that my feelings were disregarded. When Kevin and Dr. Maura arrived, they showed the same kindness and compassion. They walked us through the entire process and allowed us some final, meaningful time with our fur baby before we began. The level of empathy they both showed is something I will never forget. Thank you for making such a difficult day a little more bearable and for treating our beloved fur baby with the dignity, love, and respect she deserved. Your compassion truly meant the world to our family.

I reached out to Final Journey as I wanted to have this at home, where he was comfortable, in my arms. Final Journey at every step of this painful process showed an incredible amount of caring and empathy. They understand how difficult this is and displayed concern, caring and compassion for me, my girlfriend, and my dear cat. Even afterwards, the return of his ashes were handled with the same care and compassion, down to the beautiful hand written note. I cannot recommend this team highly enough. Well worth every single penny I paid.

After years of feeling constrained and discouraged by veterinary experiences that often left me…read morequestioning whether my pets' best interests were truly the priority, finding Dr. Robb has been life-changing. I first heard about Dr. Robb because of the extraordinary advocacy he has done for animals, advocacy unlike anything I have ever seen or heard from any other veterinarian. That alone spoke volumes about his character and dedication, but meeting him in person confirmed everything I had hoped for. From the moment I met Dr. Robb, he was a breath of fresh air. He provides compassionate, thoughtful, and genuinely accessible care. Most importantly, he respects both the animals and their owners, never forcing unnecessary treatments or making me feel pressured into decisions. Instead, he listens, guides, and empowers you to make the best choices for your pets. His staff reflects that same level of excellence. The front desk team is consistently kind, attentive, and welcoming. In a world where it's become normal to sit on hold for 30 minutes just to speak with someone, I was amazed that I could simply call and reach a real person who was eager to help. I live over an hour away, and distance means absolutely nothing when it comes to the quality of care my animals receive here. I would gladly drive five hours if it meant my pets could continue seeing Dr. Robb. Thank you, Dr. Robb, and thank you to your incredible team. From the bottom of my heart, I am deeply grateful for the care, compassion, and integrity you bring to both animals and the people who love them.

The staff at Pet Passages was very compassionate and competent, and they made a very difficult situation much more bearable. We felt like we were treated with kindness and respect, and it was very much appreciated. We selected the "Remembrance" package, which was one step up from the lowest-priced option, and the engraved wooden box, velvet bag and various remembrances of our little friend were all very, very nice.....classy and respectful. It's also worth noting that the staff did not try to "upsell" us to a more expensive arrangement, again treating us with respect at a difficult time. We have another little but elderly friend, and when the time comes, we will certainly select Pet Passages again.

From start to finish the staff was kind, caring and extremely compassionate to my loss. Losing Fetty came just a few days after losing my father to terminal cancer...so this was extremely difficult for my family and I. They met me first thing in the morning after Fetty passed away over night and made the process of paperwork extremely easy which I appreciated because I was beside myself. I left knowing my beloved boy was in good hands with fellow animal lovers who understood the profound loss I was experiencing. Fetty came home today, just 2 days later and with his ashes I received a lovely heartfelt sympathy card along with his nose and paw prints. Thank you to Jill and all the other staff at Pet Passages for taking such wonderful care of my boy...and me during this difficult time. While I hope that no other pet owner finds themselves needing the services of Pet Passages, it's truly comforting to know that there is a wonderful business locally who can care for the final arrangements of your pets large & small. I fully recommend this business if you're looking for cremation for your beloved pet after they pass over the Rainbow Bridge. I know my Fetty will be waiting for me on the other side and for now, he's keeping my dad company until I get there to be with them again

They worked with us on finding her the right medication and offered affordable options. Their visits are pretty affordable as well. The doctor is great, thorough, and straight to the point.

Mark is the primary vet I use, he's got a great personality and a sense of humor I relate to. One commentor posted that the spay and neuter was cheaper elsewhere (a.k.a. Nutmeg Spay) in my opinion you get what you pay for. (DON'T go to NUTMEG SPAY: If Nutmeg spay cannot completely a surgery in their predetermined timings, they close your animal and send them home. They did it to my cat, saying he was too fat and couldn't find his testicle. I had already paid extra because we knew one testicle was hidden. THEY ALSO KEPT MY MONEY! NUTMEG SPAY IS THE SUPERCUTS OF VETERINARY CARE!) I'll stick with Mark and Kim and the team at Oxford Veterinary, quality veterinary care is not cheap.
